From the school
In the school’s words
The ISEB Common Pre-test does not form part of the 11+ process at Alleyn's. Instead, and with the exception of candidates based overseas, all candidates will attend Alleyn's in early January for written assessments in Reasoning, English and Maths. Those children whose assessment results and school report demonstrate that they will flourish both inside and outside of the classroom at Alleyn's will be invited to attend a group activity and one-to-one interview.
Who it is for
Our aim is for our entrance assessments to allow children to demonstrate what they are capable of and, above all, to offer an enjoyable and rewarding experience to all candidates.
